<b>Description: DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_nsites</b>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_nsites method specifies the total number of sites
in a replication group.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_nsites method is typically called by applications which
use the Berkeley DB library "replication manager" support.  (However, see
also the <a href="../api_c/rep_elect.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_elect</a> man page, the description of the <b>nsites</b>
parameter.)</p>
<p>The database environment's replication subsystem may also be configured using the
environment's <a href="../ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file.  The syntax of the entry in that
file is a single line with the string "rep_set_nsites", one or more whitespace
characters, and the number of sites specified.
For example, "rep_set_nsites 5" sets the number of sites to 5.
Because the <a href="../ref/env/db_config.html#DB_CONFIG">DB_CONFIG</a> file is read when the database environment
is opened, it will silently overrule configuration done before that
time.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_nsites method configures a database environment, not only operations
performed using the specified <a href="../api_c/env_class.html">DB_ENV</a> handle.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_nsites method may not be called before the <a href="../api_c/rep_start.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_start</a> method is called.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_nsites method
returns a non-zero error value on failure
and 0 on success.
</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
 <b>nsites</b><ul compact><li>An integer specifying the total number of sites in the replication
group.</ul>
<br>
<hr size=1 noshade>
<b>Description: DB_ENV-&gt;rep_get_nsites</b>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;rep_get_nsites method returns the total number of sites in the replication group.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;rep_get_nsites method may be called at any time during the life of the
application.</p>
<p>The DB_ENV-&gt;rep_get_nsites method
returns a non-zero error value on failure
and 0 on success.
</p>
<b>Parameters</b> <br>
 <b>nsitesp</b><ul compact><li>The DB_ENV-&gt;rep_get_nsites method returns  the
total number of sites in the replication group in <b>nsitesp</b>.</ul>
